    Episode 34: Libs Elliott

    Today, we're joined by one of our most favorite quilters, and are so excited to share our conversation with Libs Elliott with you! From her brief stint at Crayola to her big jump in college studies, we learn all about the road that led her to create computer-engineered patterns at a time when modern quilting was still in its infancy.

    Alternative title: To Buy A Longarm Or Not To Buy A Longarm
     
    Maybe you've been in the market for a longarm machine, or maybe you're looking to be talked out of it once and for all. Either way, we're addressing the pros and cons of longarm ownership to help you decide if it's for you!
    With one of us on either side of the fence, there's some great points made to help see the big picture!

WOW! I’m on my way to (my first) Sewtopia in Milwaukee in a couple of weeks and just listened to the two part chat with and Amy - WHAT FUN! Asheland and Lacie are such great hosts and it was like down home week with the locals… I LOVED learning the history of Sewtopia! Keep up the good work gals - you’re both gems! (But of course Lacie will always have a special place in my heart for introducing me to modern quilting!)

Great podcast!

I really enjoy listening to this podcast during my 4.5 mile morning walks. Their insights on quilting are very informational and their guest interviews are great. I always look forward to the next episode!
